Recap: 5 Year Anniversary | Blue Wave

Headed into the Blue Wave (343 Congress St, Harbor side) around 10:30 p.m. y'all know how I don't do lines - and was pleased to find that the cover charge had remained at $20. I of course headed straight for the bar and asked for a STRONG but good drink. I tried to order the Nirvana, but my bartender Amanda let me know that it wasn't very good, and tried to twist it up with another type of vodka and let me try it. Yuck! I then asked for my staple - hey I tried to be different, but sometimes you just gotta stick with you know. They didn't charge me for the first drink, thanks guys! It was only $8 which is one of the cheapest strongest drinks I've rec'd.

Your girl BostonFab!

Flying solo I kept myself perched at the bar to do some people watching. Rob of R.O.B. - I still can't get over that - came and chit-chatted with me for a bit which is a rare (okay has never happened) occurrence. He's actually a pretty nice guy :) (All I want is one gene from your family - just one!!!) - Anyways he has a party concept that I think is going to be great! But...since I know promoters read this - I won't blow up his spot. As soon as it gets off the ground I will def. let y'all know. Don't forget where you (kinda) heard it first!

BostonFab! and promoter Rob of R.O.B.

Although they were celebrating the 5 Year Anniversary of Soulful Saturdays, this was actually my first time to the Blue Wave on a Saturday. The crowd was slightly international, and more of the seasoned and sophisticated crowd. I would say the age range averaged around late 20's to early 30's. DJ Che Boogie stared us off with the old skool R&B which got everyone into a chill and relaxed vibe.

I'm tellin' ya ladies - if you decide to go solo sit at the bar and be genuinely friendly and you'll meet lots of cool people. I even met the infamous Larry of Trillium Salon (49 Gloucester St, Boston) who actually does do great work. Check out the hair of the Asian bartender with the crop cut...nice...

Finally people started kinda dancing around 12 a.m. Though most were content to circulate the room, by chatting with one another rather than dancing. It seemed like the majority of people there were regulars and knew each other.

The crowd socializing

Camp Lo got on the mike around 1 a.m. and did his hit "Luchini" (AKA: This is it) and that was it. His set was madd short! And I didn't hear a formal announcement. It could of happened while I was in the restroom or something...but still one song? After his performance DJ Massive got on the tables and hit us with a bit more upbeat music, but still grown. None of that Soulja Boy and Lil' Bow Wow for this crowd.

Towards the end of the night I decided to mingle a bit more and met Betty a Fab! Fan - (Thanks for reading!!) and a family member of partial owner - I'll call him Mr. Incognito. - who she introduced me to. Thanks for taking the time for a photo op.

BostonFab! and Mr. Incognito

BostonFab! and a Fab! Fan!

This was a cool night to see new faces and meet new people I give it a solid B.

Picture Recap: In case y'all didn't believe it was true...NAS at Blue Wave

I thought it only fair to show that Nas did indeed show up at Blue Wave last Saturday. Hey, even I was a bit skeptical. You gotta hand it to R.O.B. I wonder what the sliding scale entrance fee ended up being??.... :)

Recap: Absolute Liz | Blue Wave

Party girl that I am it is rare that you find me out on a Sunday, unless there is a holiday that is, but...I had to go out and support female promoter Liz from E1 Live! Entertainment and her Absolute Liz birthday party and fundraiser for Papa's Piggybank.

When I walked up I found the red carpet was in place and Liz was there to take pictures with her guests as they arrived. So very cute! When you got inside you got a receipt for your payment - claim in on your taxes if you want - and they gave you a drink ticket for Midori. Niiiccceee. You were encouraged to sign the guest book and one of the many posters along the walls and leave a birthday message.

Photo: Boston Fab Fan Jax and me Boston Fab!

I arrived mad early, 10:30ish and there the hors d' oeuvres were already on the table, chicken wings, veggie platters and cake. We stopped by the bar to pick up our free drink and then I remembered how much I dislike Midori. It is so sweet! Hey - but that's no fault of Liz's of course...I still drank it - hey - It was still free!

The place was relatively empty until around quarter to 12. Dag Boston...you still treat a Sunday like a club night? Once the crowd showed up the ratio was pretty good, and DJ Chubby Chub was hittin' us with some serious old skool and funk in the beginning then picked up the tempo once it got more crowded.

Photo: People actin' like they didn't have to work in the morning

I was a bit disappointed with the people who decided not to adhere to the dress code, though I must say most people did. Sometimes a bit too much. (Uh dude with the red vest) lol...but seriously I mean this was probably the easiest dress code to follow, red, black, white...whatevs, I'm over it. But Liz looked like she was having a good time, though still ever the hostess, posing for pictures and making sure everybody was taken care of.

Photo: Boston Fab! Fans... Greg aka: Greg-Ray aka: Nice Dude with the Dreds... in the middle...

I didn't do much dancing myself, but others were having a good ol' time twerkin' and jerkin' and it seemed like the party had just started when I was heading out the door around 1:30. Some of us have to work in the morning okay?

I'm glad I came out and once again Happy Birthday Liz!

Recap: Feel The Vibe Saturday | Blue Wave

Fabulously submitted by
Boston Fab! Correspondent A-Marie

After a brief stint at Z Square last Saturday, I headed over to The Blue Wave (343 Congress Street, Downtown) for Feel the Vibe Saturdays. Shortly after midnight, there wasn't a line...and the ever-helpful bouncer suggested a great parking spot! You get major cool points for the tip man!

At first, I was concerned. No line = nobody inside, but they assured me at coat check that the crowd was cool. My girl and I reluctantly paid the $15 cover thinkin' this better be good.

Inside, I have to admit that The Wave wasn’t as packed as it usually gets. Some people were dressed very casual while others took the time to get their hair fried, dyed and laid to the side! There were even a few people rocking tuxedos and ball gowns from a wedding that happened earlier in the day.

(Photo: Boston Fab! Correspondent A-Marie and Boston Fab! fan Monique)

Still, the bar was jam packed! Amanda, a bartender, whipped us up something fun, a Malibu Martini, which was a fairly priced $10. It was kind of on the sweet side but soooo goooood! She could not only make a great concoction but she also could handle herself well when it came to helping out the she-had- a-few-too-many-drinks-girl next to me. Ugh.

The best part of the night was the music by far. DJ Eight-2 did his thing! The minute I hit the dance floor my roller set was done! LOL.

(Photo: Blue Wave party-goers feeling that DJ Eight-2)

The Blue Wave will always remain a staple on the club scene in Boston. My man Rob definitely knows how to throw a party!

(Photo: Boston Fab! fan Monique with promoter Rob)

*Inside Scoop* I hear Rob's starting a new event at Privus Lounge called Sophisticate Fridays. The grand opening is this Friday, May 30th!

Check back on BostonFab! for more details!

Update | Poetic Escape Blue Wave

The Boston Fab! Team checked in with the promoter for Poetic Escape at Blue Wave (343 Congress Street, Downtown) and have clarified that this event does NOT take place every Wednesday, it is every 3rd Wednesday or possibly every other Wednesday (yeah that is sooo clear now - lol). And there IS a cover, which is $5.

Sooo...if you feel like getting your poetry on check out The Poetic Escape every 3rd Wednesday for sure, any other Wednesday will be a gamble :)

Stay Fab! :)
